GENERAL INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION 1.1 Scope: This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the effort required for the design, development, evaluation, and delivery (electronic and CD) of curriculum materials for the Extreme Excellence Challenge (E2C)--Wellness Program. 1.2. Introduction: The E2C?Wellness Program is now an official part of the AFJROTC Curriculum. It is instrumental in the AFJROTC mission of ?Develop Citizens of Character, Dedicated to Serving Their Nation and Community?. Wellness is a critical part of citizenship. Classrooms are full of obese and overweight kids; these students greatly limit their future capabilities and opportunities. HQ is building a wellness program for use in the classroom with minimum resources that will use body weight and calisthenics as the core facets. We want to enhance the basic exercise format with supplemental lesson plans to include active, fun, team-building activities. There are approximately 945 JROTC schools nation wide that will participate in this program. 1.2.1. The E2C-Wellness Program 19 exercises are: V Sit Reach, Bent Knee Push-ups, Feet Elevated Push-Ups, AFJROTC Push-ups, Plank, Left Arm and Right Arm Planks, Sit-ups, Extended Sit-ups, Flutter Kick, Lunges, Arm Extended Lunges, Reverse Arm Extended Lunges, Mountain Climbers, AFJROTC Squats, Body Builders 8 Count, Tuck Jumps, Side Lateral Jumps and the 1 Mile Run 1.2.1.1. Exercise Descriptions: Students will be timed on each of the events. The amount of repetitions they are able to perform will be documented and compared to AFJROTC standards. V-SIT REACH (FLEXABILITY TEST) With your shoes off, place feet eight to 12 inches apart on a line marked on the floor. This is the baseline, which will be crossed by a measuring line that will be used to measure flexibility. Clasp thumbs so hands are together with palms facing down, then place them on the measuring line. Have a partner hold legs straight and keep toes facing upward. While reaching forward, exhale, and reach as far as you can while staying in good position. BENT KNEE PUSH-UPS (1 Minute) Kneel on floor and bend knees so that you pivot on your knees rather than on your toes when doing a standard pushup. When you go to the ?down? position, your feet should be in the air. Your knees act as a fulcrum. It is recommended that these be done on grass or with a towel, etc, to protect ones knees. PUSH-UPS (1 Minute) Place your hands slightly wider than shoulders; keep torso straight and head aligned with spine throughout the exercise. Lower yourself until your chest touches the floor; press back to starting position. You must rest in the up position. FEET ELEVATED PUSH-UPS (1 Minute) Place feet on sturdy chair about 2 ft. tall. Perform standard push-up. Make sure body stays straight! AFJROTC PUSH UP (1 Minute) Start with your hands on the floor, shoulder-width apart. Your feet are on the floor (no knees) and your legs are shoulder width or wider, depending on you?re flexibility. Starting position is butt in the air, head looking back to your heels. Bend your elbows and lower your body in a circular arc, until your arms are straight. Your chest is up and your hips are almost touching the ground. Look to the ceiling. Inhale. Push back toward your heels once again. Straightening your arms and stretching your legs, as in step #3. Exhale. Back to the same position as described in step #4. Do as many repetitions as you can. Note: Some people lack the strength to do a single AFJROTC pushup when they begin. If you fall into this category, not to worry, you can start with an isometric AFJROTC pushup. Get into the start position and press your hands into the ground as hard as you can. Hold for six seconds while you make the "sssss" sound. After six seconds, move into the arched position. While looking skyward, flex and contract your body and push your hands into the ground. Hold for six seconds while making the "sssss" sound. Repeat this entire sequence three times. These isometric presses will give you strength very quickly and soon you'll be doing a full AFJROTC pushup. PLANK Position yourself on the floor by resting on your toes and elbows. Keep you back straight. You should look like your in a push-up position, but you are leaning on your elbows instead of your hands. Hold this position as long as you can. No movement, just hold that plank position ... keep holding. LEFT AND RIGHT ARM PLANKS These are one-armed planks. Lay straight on your side with you legs and feet together. Now elevate yourself onto one elbow. You should be supporting your weight with a single forearm running perpendicular to the front of your body. Place your opposite hand on your hip so that the non-weight supporting arm has its elbow pointing up into the air. Now hold this position as long as you can. You can spread your feet a bit to help with balance. This is a side plank. For training purposes, a student can rotate while in the one arm plank position ? meaning that you role your body while leaning on the one elbow. Try to turn enough so that the elbow of the arm not supporting your weight goes parallel with the floor while keeping your hand on your hip. Repeat as often as desired. Please note that the national charts are based on one-arm plank times and not on rotations. SIT-UPS (1 Minute) Lie on your back with legs bent 90 degrees at the knee - the standard "sit-up" position. Cross your arms and place your hands so that your fingertips touch your shoulders. Curl your torso so your chest moves toward your knees. Keep your hands on your chest at all times. The sit-up does not count if your hands come off your chest. You must rest in the up position and cannot lean on your knees while resting. One?s hips or buttock should not come off the ground to produce momentum. EXTENDED SIT-UPS (1 Minute) Lie down on your back and extend your arms straight by your head while on the floor. Keep your legs straight and your feet together. Keeping your arms straight, gently bring your arms over your head and toward your legs as you do a sit-up maneuver. Don't fling or yank your arms. This could cause an injury. As your torso goes upright, keeping your legs straight, elevate your legs as you do the sit up maneuver. Your hands should eventually touch your ankles. When your hands touch your ankles, your feet should be at least 12 to 24 inches off the floor. Returning to the start position counts as one repetition... FLUTTER KICKS (1 Minute) Back Flutter Kicks are a great way to strengthen your hip flexors. Back Flutter Kicks are a traditional and staple PT exercise. Start kicking. Keep your range of motion between six inches to 36 inches max. It's a four-count exercise; one, two, three, ONE. One, two, three, TWO. One, two, three, THREE. And so on. LUNGES (1 Minute) Start by standing in a normal upright position with your hands on your hips. While keeping your hands on your hip, step out far enough with your left leg so that your right knee has to drop within an inch of the floor. Now step back to the upright position and then step out with your right leg until your left knee is an inch off the floor. Going from left to right one time equals one ?three count? lunge. However, for testing one may count each lunge individually, so the process described above would equal two lunges. ARM EXTENED LUNGES (1 Minute) Follow the same process above but do not stand in place. Rather as you take a lunge, you also take a step from your start location. In addition, put your arms out straight in front of you. As you take the lunges, move both arms, while keeping them straight at the elbow, to the side of the leg that is taking the step. So if I step out with my left leg, my arms are swinging to my left side, etc. This works the torso in conjunction with the lunges. REVERSE ARM EXTENED LUNGES (1 Minute) Do what is described above but while walking backwards. On this exercise the leg you step back with will be the leg whose knee will drop to an inch off the floor. AFJROTC SQUAT (1 Minute) Begin with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes pointing straight ahead. Your hands are pulled in tightly to your chest. Inhale. Keep you back fairly straight and lower your buttocks until your thighs are parallel to the floor. As you lower your buttocks your hands are BEHIND your back, and they follow you toward the ground. As you move toward the parallel-to-the-ground position, you should simultaneously raise your heels from the floor. Now swing your arms upward and push off your toes, raising your body to a standing position. Now swing your arms upward and push off your toes, raising your body to a standing position. Once you have reached the up-position, you pull your arms in toward your chest again, as if you are rowing a boat. Make tight fists with your hands and pull. Your elbows will be close to your body as you pull. Inhale as you pull your arms in, exhale as you lower yourself. Repeat without stopping for as many reps as possible. In the beginning, depending on your condition, you will be able to do 25-50. When you can do 100 without stopping, you're making great strides. MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS (1 Minute) Go into a regular push-up position, but extend your left leg forward so that your left knee is tucked up close to your chest. This will be the official start position. You will then move your left leg back to a straight position while you bring your right leg up to where its knee is tucked up under your chest. You will repeat this process and count each leg forward as one full mountain climber. The E2C standard chart for ?mountain climbers? is based on individual knee forward counts and not the three-count method. BODY BUILDERS ? 8 COUNT (1 Minute) Start in a standing position with your arms to your side and your feet together. Squat down and bend over so that you are in a squat position with your arms extended out before you and resting on the floor. (Count to ?one? on this move.) Kick your legs out from under you so that you go to a standard push-up position. (Count to ?two? on this move.) While in the push-up position, kick your legs apart so that your legs form a wide ?V?. (Count to ?three? on this move.) Bring your legs back together and return to the standard push-up position. (Count to ?four? on this move.) Once back in a push-up position, perform one standard push-up. (Count to ?five? on the downward move and count to ?six? on the upward move in the push-up.) While keeping your arms on the floor in front of you, tuck you legs up underneath you so that you return to the squat position described in line ?2? above. (Count to ?seven? on this move.) Return to the standing start position. (This is move ?eight? and completes one full ?Body Builder.) TUCK JUMPS (1 Minute) Standing in place, jump up in the air and bring both knees up to your chest; grasp both shins with your hands when knees are at their highest; extend legs to land on both feet and immediately jump up again. (No double pump on landing?) Do the jumps as quickly and as high as you can. SIDE LATERAL JUMPS (1 Minute) Draw two lines on the ground, 3 feet apart. Stand on the far side of one line. Jump with both feet sideways and land on the far side of the other line, then immediately jump back to the starting position. This equals one rep. Go back and forth as fast as you can. You can push more with the outside leg, but make sure both feet stay together and land on the outside of the line. 1-MILE RUN (Time) The 1-mile run should take place on a regulation track. If a track is not available, make sure the course is well marked and that all runners start at the same mark. Runners should not switch lanes until the 200-meter mark if the run is being conducted on a standard 400-meter track. Runners should be stretched well and hydrated before the run. 1.2.2.
